Well, no news is good news. Natalie, our midwife, said she'd only give us a call if our test results or ultrasound were abnormal or of any concern. This pleases us. Glucose normal. Antibodies normal. No Anemia.
There was a moment toward the end of the ultrasound where Hallie asked "so, everything seems okay?" There was a pause, a breath, and then a "uh-huh." The answer was affirmative. The body language was not. Panic began welling up, and I brutally suppressed it with logic: The pause probably came because her thought process was interrupted as she was focusing on the images & the computer. Yeah. That's it.
I didn't mention this to Hallie. If she didn't notice the pause, there's no need to make her panicky. Let the technician be the technician, let the midwife interpret the data.
Now, as it turns ou,t everything is fine, and yes- Hallie had been going through the same thing while trying not to worry ME. I'm sure this logical panic will continue for another forty years.

We can't wait to see you guys. Hallie looks so cute!! It's easy to read into the Dr.'s body language but I've learned that they will tell you if you need to worry. Mom is right, the worries don't end, they just change but it is worth it!
